I Love You More Today

Well, I think that this is the first Thursday in over a year and a half that I didn't HAVE to post a card! All three of my Thursday requirements are over, now this is just for fun! I broke out some of my Zva Creative gems that I had left over from making CHA samples and put together this 'vision in green' card. Good thing I love green! Here's a lookie at it:


I used a tutorial by Wendy, made for the Ribbon Carousel Blog a few months ago...to weave the ribbon through the lace. You can view that tutorial here. The crocheted lace is from the Ribbon Carousel. The paper flowers are from Zva Creative, as well as the gem flourishes. I used Verve's Hundred Hearts stamp set...I think it's perfect for making Valentine's cards as the sentiments included in this set are just so heartwarming. Here's a look at the whole set...I just love it~


And right now this set is 20% off during Verve's "Love is in the Air" sale...just sayin' :)
Well, that's all from me today, stop back tomorrow for a peek at this week's Viva La Verve sketch!

  5. Hi Andrea: What an Andrea card! I love this. How you threaded the ribbon through the lace is brilliant and also gorgeous! The color is my fav and I love how you used it. The sentiments that come from this company are always so rich and meaningful and I love what you chose for your card. It is so neat with the kraft scallop and the polka dots...they seem to tie in with the dots of the gems and the kraft of the border. Just LOVE it to bits!!! xox
